  1. For beaches go to Fig Tree Bay in Protara or the beaches in Ayia Napa . Try the local cuisine if u like a drink ask for some of the local fire water Zivania. Avoid Famagusta !! No tornados. Typhoons or many immigrants. The weather is warm the seas are the best in the Med, the people friendly and they drive on the same side of the road as us.

    Enjoy

  2. Congratulations Beretta06 on what will ultimately be a beautiful pair of guns . A close friend of mine did the Perazzi experience and visited the factory. He couldn't praise the staff enough and had a great time, as I'm sure by the sounds of it you did. Now it's just a case of waiting 4 delivery and counting the days. !!!!!!!

  3. Hi Cos,

    I have to agree with you mate.

    This is the closet gun shop to me but I will not spend a penny in that shop for same reasons you have mentioned.

    I have found the guy to be rude abrupt and a compete $?@;;**

    In complete contrast, I can't recommend enough the gents at Mays of London or Park St Guns, who can't do enough for you....

  4. HI Aris,

    Can thoroughly recommend the gallery. Great place to spend an hour or so. If you are looking for clothing or accessories they have some good deals in the New Year sale otherwise they can be a bit on the steep side. But what I would say is that they tend to get the pick of the best stocks, as opposed to the local RFDs. I bought a couple of guns from the gallery and the service was good but the quality of the wood was better than average.

  5. I have to say that I had an issue with my order, but the back up service and effort spent trying to rectify the problem was second to none. I even had emails from whom I believe was the owner of the company (I could be mistaken, I'd need to dig up old mails) offering apologies and assurances.

     

    All problems were resolved without any hastle and I would definitely recommend and use them again.

    Cos where did you get the moulds done as I am thinking of getting myself a pair.

  6. I believe he never even set foot in England either (we never had the benefits system in place then lol)

    If that was an attempt at what may be considered humour,,,, I'm afraid this individual has a lot to answer for..

  7. Well done mate for introducing a fellow gun to what most people have never had the chance to participate in. It's people like you that we all owe a duty of respect to, for keeping our sport alive, and giving the young ones the chance to experience something very special. Good on ya. Hats off to James for taking the bird home and cooking it. There's not much tastier than roast grouse.

  8. Was on a walked up Grouse day in North Yorkshire a fortnight ago. SIx guns and we had a bag of about 20 brace. We all had a thoroughly good time and we agreed with the shoot organiser that the tip was going to be £50. It is quite a lot but when the keepers do their utmost to make your day a special one you tend not to be to offended by the size of the tip, within reason. I also think that keepers on a walked up grouse day deserve that bit extra as the job is that bit harder.

    That's the seen from a Glorious Corner of England where the scenery is amazing, the people are warm and welcoming and the shooting some of the best in the world.

     

    Spent a superb day on Ilkley Moor with a group of friends enjoying a day shooting grouse. It was a day spent walking on Heather moors, not the driven sort of shooting, but with a gamekeeper and a few others and some great dogs.

     

    The day produced just over 20 brace but was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
